This is the one that I'm going to race, if it passes inspection!!! It has a 10" side air dam, and 1" nose dams, 26" long 13" wide and 5" high. It has a ride height of 1.5" and the rear spoiler makes it squat for max bite out of the corners. It's a stock Kyosho MP-7, powered by GX .21, 4 shoe clutch, ProLine Knuckles(soft) gives it good cornering and acceleration. The machine is a snap to pilot. The body is our production model "TwisterZ" with Mustang nose trim.

I can't let 'em go for anything less than $100. That includes hardware,(Stainless steel button heads, and cadmium coated expanding lock nuts) shock tower plates(universal) body posts, post pins, and the body panels, in high gloss white lexan(for now) ready to be assembled and painted(lacquer) assembly instructions included. The car body is shipped partially assembled, in sections, the roof will be assembled by the owner(gotta' make the heat sink cutout) Here's a price breakdown.
Materials- Lexan 3.5 sq. ft.- $22
Hardware- 45 pcs-$18(includes all tapes and glue strips)
labor-$75@ $15 p/h
shipping-$5.50-$7.50

I know it's spendy, but it's one heck of a body, and not for the "bashers" It's durable, flexible, easy to replace panels, reusable lock nuts, light weight Lexan, .27. It takes me 5 hours of cutting/bending, and tac-up assembly, then wrapping the panels in bubble, install padding(for shipping/ the bottom is partially assembled) and getting it out the door.

That's a nice late model body you made. It would go faster if you would have made it a Chevy :)

Another fine looking late model Scott. I wish there was a track near by that raced 1/8 scale late models so I could get one.

Hey Curt, all you need is three guys with 1/8th scale buggys, then you officially have a class.

True...but, where would we race them? We don't have an outdoor track, yet. There are some guys working on it, but it could take a little while yet.

I haven't seen Scott online for a while. He had his r/c stuff for sale a while back and I think he was getting out of the hobby.
